Dai Phuc transforms tea plants into a tourism commodity.

Dai Phuc commune currently has over 1,260 hectares of tea plantations, making it one of the localities with the largest tea growing area in Thai Nguyen province. Enhancing the value of tea is one of the three breakthrough tasks identified by the Dai Phuc commune Party Committee to develop the economy and increase income for the people.

The people of Dai Phuc commune are focusing on developing the area for growing organic tea.

Ms. Luong Thi Thao's family, residing in Cay Thi hamlet, Dai Phuc commune, maintains approximately 1,000 square meters of tea plantation. Over the years, her family has regularly raised 10-15 buffaloes. By utilizing well-rotted manure as fertilizer for the tea plants, their tea garden thrives year-round, yielding significantly higher productivity and quality compared to using chemical fertilizers.

Along with maintaining the existing tea cultivation area of ​​households, Dai Phuc commune has formed tea processing and trading cooperatives. Most cooperatives are linked with tea-growing households to build a stable raw material supply for production, ensuring the quality of fresh tea during processing.

A prime example is the Kim Thoa Tea Cooperative, established and operational since 2022 with a registered capital of 600 million VND and 7 members. The cooperative maintains a 5-hectare tea plantation cultivated according to VietGAP standards. Annual fresh tea leaf production exceeds 88 tons, with 75% consumed by the cooperative and the remainder sold by its members. The cooperative's tea products have received a 4-star OCOP certification. On average, the cooperative sells approximately 6 tons of dried tea annually, generating revenue of around 1 billion VND.

Ms. Tong Thi Kim Thoa, Director of Kim Thoa Tea Cooperative, said: "From its inception, the cooperative has focused on producing and processing clean, safe tea products that meet organic standards. Member households that grow and supply raw materials to the cooperative are managed from fertilizer application to cultivation and harvesting processes."
